Does anyone have a recommendation for a canopy to use in the rain?

I bought my E-Z up 10x10 2 years ago ...I love it and very easy to set up. Good to have side wall if it rain...

a tent without seams ie: poles with a solid canopy is the only one that will not leak after a period of time. Tents/canopies with seams may hold up thru a few rain storms, but even with seam sealer will leak in rain. Throwing and securing a drop cloth over such tents, with clamps after you spread out , but before raising such tents is the only sure way to prevent leaks.

The E-Z UP 10 by 10 Express is a good sturdy Tent, the canvas is thick and made very well..One of the best, my wife uses hers for Craft fairs.

Sara, this canopy can be used in an outdoor wedding, provided there is a trellis, arch, tree or something to drape it over or suspend it from. I hope this helps!

I built a canopy for ours. Email me at dnutte2@yahoo.com and I will send you a pic of the canopy I built

The material is fabric. We have not had it out in rain, do not know the level of waterproof. It is more sun proof than the original canopy.

Canopies of this type are not intended to be left standing when storms with winds are forecast. Even with very strong, weighted tie downs, wind will twist the frame or topple over the canopy. I have owned several different brands and they are all temporary shelters. This brand is the easiest to put up and take down of all the ones I have had. It only takes one person to do it and I am a senior citizen female.

My canopy fell apart within a few uses. I wouldnt count on the canopy for water.

After a lot of research, I never expected this to be 100% rain-proof. It is a shade canopy. I bought this for it's shade and lighting. By design you have an open vent at the top of the roof. Also, the upper frame touches the seems at almost every point. I know in my tents if I have something touching the walls during a heavy rainstorm, water will eventually begin to "wick" through the fabric. I would suspect this effect works the same with this canopy. Sealing the seams should help some but probably won't prevent water dripping inside during heavy downpours.

I would suggest that you purchase the Z-Shade Venture 10' x 10' Pop Up Instant Shelter Canopy (also found on Amazon) rather than trying to fit a product not specifically for the Venture.

The canopy is water resistant, but we purchased a waterproofing spray product at Lowe's to protect it not only from moisture but also from the sun. FYI: it has several grommet ventilation openings that will allow rain in. These are necessary to prevent very strong winds from lifting the canopy up violently.

Patricia,there is full rain fly for light to moderate rains; i wouldn't use the tent during extreme downpours without additional protection.Irina

Marion- You can absolutely use the chair without the canopy. It will rest behind the back and legs of the chair iin the down position. Then, if it starts to rain, you just flip it up over your head.

Yes, we bought the sunwall (plus light rain and/or wind) accessory & love it. They no longer offer the one we have, but there are lots of options here: http://www.coleman.com/Products/11050/canopies-screen-houses.

No, NOT rain proof, Maybe a very light rain. sprinkle that is. This is a light duty shade product. I do love it though. The setup really does need two people. The clamps are amazing. VERy strong and well build. Pretty heavy too, most of the weight is the clamps.

Most universal 10X10 canopies will fit. I first purchased one on amazon and it was very thin so rain came through it. After doing some research for waterproof ones I purchased one from gardenwinds.com (water resistant, but rain has not come through). Hope that helps.

We used clips to hold the canopy up, but it wasnt failproof. I ended up cutting the canopy off completely even though now i wont be able to use it outside now.

I use a rain cover for mine. It can only take a minimal amount of rain (i.e. small drizzle).

This is designed to offer storage and protection from damage caused by sun, light rain, tree sap and animal - bird excrement. This Canopy is not recommended for severe weather conditions. Let us know if you have any further questions.
